Definitions

  • the invention relates to baseball or sporting type hats and in particular to adjustable baseball style hats that more resemble traditional fitted hats where the adjustment parts are generally symmetric in each side of the hat.
  • baseball or sports style hats are available in several styles.
  • the crown of the hat is made in a range of sizes and a user selects a hat to fit his head.
  • the disadvantage of this style is that a vendor has to stock hats in many different sizes to accommodate different head sizes.
  • the advantage of this traditional style is that the entire crown of the hat is made of material and no provisions are necessary to adjust the hat. In recent years the "one-hat-fits-all" baseball hat has become very popular.
  • An adjustment mechanism such as a pair of plastic straps or Velcro ® straps, one a hook strap and the other a loop strap, are affixed at the back of the cap.
  • the hat size is adjusted by altering the circumference of the crown by changing the position of the adjustment mechanism.
  • This style has several disadvantages. First, it requires a cut out or slit portion in the back of the crown where the straps of the adjustment mechanism are attached. This makes the hat unsightly in appearance. Second, it is popular to wear baseball style hats backwards, i.e., with the bill or visor at the back of the wearer's head instead of the front. In such case, the part of the head located at the split portion remains exposed to the weather conditions.
  • a further object of the invention is to provide a baseball style hat with or without visor which has a pair of adjustment clasps which may be symmetrically located in both sides of the hat when the hat is worn by a user.
  • An additional object of the invention is to provide a baseball style hat with or without visor which has two or more adjustment clasps which are hidden from view when the hat is worn by a user.
  • an adjustable hat which has a crown, preferably made of a plurality of triangular sections forming an apex at its top and having one or more adjustable portions along its lower part.
  • a visor may be attached to the front or rear portion of the crown.
  • At least two, but eventually four, of two-part adjustment clasps are affixed near each emple of the crown to alter the size of the lower portion of the crown.
  • the adjustment clasps are hidden or almost hidden when adjusted for the wearer. This is accomplished by embedding one part of the adjustment clasp in or from a detachable flap, which can be created by leaving all, or a part of, adjacent pie or triangular sections unsewn in both sides of the hat.
  • the other part of the clasp is attached to the adjacent crown section, near the visor zone or forehead area. It can also be attached to the opposite side of the hat.
  • the two part adjustment clasp can be a pair of straight or curved plastic straps, one having male connector portions and the other female connector portions, of the type well known in baseball style hats.
  • the male-female connectors can be closer and/or narrower than commonly used in these kind of hats.
  • the adjustment clasp can be a pair of Velcro ® straps, a textile strap with a buckle, hooks, screws, pins, clips, knots or similar fastener or even adhesive or elastic straps, also well known in the art.
  • FIG. 1 is a side elevation view of the adjustable hat of the present invention.
  • Fig. 2 is a side elevation view of the adjustable hat of the present invention showing one adjustment clasp arrangement.
  • Fig. 3 is a back view of the hat of Fig. 1 in a direction of the arrows shown in Fig. 1 .
  • Fig. 4 is a side elevation view of the adjustable hat of the present invention showing another adjustment clasp arrangement.
  • Fig. 5 is a side elevation view of the adjustable hat of the present invention showing yet another adjustment clasp arrangement.
  • Figs. 6 A and 6B are front elevation 'views of the adjustable hat of the present invention showing yet another adjustment clasp arrangement.
  • Figs. 7A, 7B and 7C are side and elevation views of the adjustable hat of the present invention showing yet another adjustment clasp arrangement.
  • Figs. 8A and 8B are views of another embodiment of the clasp arrangement of the adjustable hat of the present invention.
  • Fig. 9 A is a view of another embodiment of the adjustable hat of the present invention and
  • Fig. 9B is a view of the details of the clasp arrangement of this embodiment.
  • Fig. 10A is a view of another embodiment of the adjustable hat of the present invention and Fig. 10B is a view of the details of the clasp arrangement of this embodiment.
  • Fig. 1 1 is a view of another embodiment of the adjustable hat of the present invention.
  • DETAILED DESCRIPTION Figs. 1 -3 illustrate one embodiment of the adjustable hat 10 of the present invention.
  • the hat has a crown 1 2 and may have a bill or visor 14 attached to the front portion 1 6 or the back portion 1 8 of the crown 1 2.
  • the back portion 1 8 looks like the traditional baseball style hat, e.g., there is a solid expanse of material with no slits and no visible adjustment mechanism or clasp.
  • the crown is made up of a plurality of triangular or pie-shaped pieces 20 of material such as cotton, wool or synthetic material. With one or more exceptions the triangular crown pieces 20 are sewn together, with the tips of the triangular pieces defining an apex 22, which is typically hidden by a button 23 as shown. The bottoms of the triangular pieces define the circumferential portion 24 of the hat 10.
  • Figure 2 illustrates one embodiment of the improved adjustment mechanism or clasp 30 of the present invention comprising a first plastic strap 32 located in a flap 34 in the triangular temple piece 36 of the crown.
  • a second part of the clasp comprises a second plastic strap 38 located in a flap 35 located in the adjacent triangle forming the crown where or near where the visor 1 4 joins the crown.
  • the first and second plastic straps are sewn or fixed into the sweat band 40 of the hat, as indicated by the dashed lines.
  • the plastic straps 32 and 38 are conventional or -one or mo ⁇ e of them- wider and/or narrower and/or curved defining any desired geometry.
  • the size of the hat is determined by the amount of overlap of the straps 32 and 38 when attached to each other.
  • the adjustment clasps are not located at the very back of the hat. Rather, they are generally located at both sides of the hat at any or two sides of the temple portion 26 of hat 1 0. Additionally, in a preferred embodiment, the adjustment clasps are generally hidden totally or partially, without the necessity of the slit in the crown, as is the case with the typical "one-size-fits all" style hat. In a preferred embodiment there are two adjustment clasps, one at each side of the hat, at any side of the temple portion of the crown near or opposite where the bill or visor 1 4 joins the crown 1 2. As illustrated in Fig. 2, as well as Figs.
  • the clasps 30 are provided in a manner such that they are virtually not seen when adjusted to the wearer's size, as shown in Figs. 1 and 3.
  • the first part 32, located in the flap 34 is hidden from view when it is attached to the second part of the clasp 38.
  • flap 34 is created by leaving unsewn all, or a part, of the temple triangle 36 to the adjacent triangular or pie-shaped section.
  • the pie or triangular shape of each section may vary its pie or triangular shape to permit the mating movement of the clasp arrangement.
  • Fig. 4 shows another embodiment of the present invention.
  • the clasp 30 comprises first and second Velcro ® straps 42 and 44, with one being the hook strap and the other the loop strap.
  • the circumference of the hat, and hence its size, is adjusted by the amount of overlap of the straps 42 and 44.
  • Fig. 4 also illustrates another feature of the invention.
  • One or more Velcro ® strips or patches 46 and 48 may be located along the flap 34 and adjacent flap 35. These strips or patches allow the detachable sections to be joined together once the adjustment clasp has been adjusted for the user.
  • Velcro ® strips or patches 42 and 44 need not be rectilinear. They can be made to define a circle, or square or any desired geometry.
  • Fig. 5 illustrates another embodiment of the present invention.
  • the clasp 50 made up of connectors 52 and 54 have a slightly curved or accurate shape to more naturally follow the contours of the circumference of the hat 10.
  • One end of connector 52 fits into a recess of the crown triangle 36.
  • end 56 of connector 54 is recessed within the crown 12.
  • fold 34 of the crown triangle 36 extends all the way to the apex 22.
  • Velcro ® strips 58 and 60 provide a mating surface for the flap 34 and the adjacent crown triangular section.
  • the width of the connectors 52 and 54 are preferably narrower than the single set of connectors typically found in the "one fits ail" type of hat.
  • the embedded ends of connectors 52 and 54 can also be narrower than the connector portions. It should be understood that other clasps or adjustment mechanisms can be. employed, as mentioned in the summary of the invention. Also, while keeping the adjustment clasps hidden is preferred, they may be provided on the outside of the crown where they are visible.
  • FIG. 6A the adjustment mechanism 60 includes a first pair of connectors, 62 and 64, which are attached to the inside flap 34 of temple triangle 36 and to the front portion 16, respectively.
  • a second pair of the same connectors 62 (not shown) and 64, are provided on the other side of the hat 10.
  • mating connectors 64 are attached to the outside of the front portion 16 of hat 10.
  • connectors 64 can be the male connectors and connectors 62 the female connectors or vice-versa.
  • Connectors 62 and 64 can be made of, plastic, metal, textile, elastic, adhesive, Velcro ® or can be a strap and buckle or hook arrangement.
  • plastic, textile, metal, adhesive, elastic or Velcro ® can define any geometry and is not limited to a strap.
  • the receiving plastic, textile, metal, adhesive, elastic or Velcro ® could be round or square or have any desired geometry for easy attachment of strap 62. It should be understood that other clasps or adjustment mechanisms can be employed, as mentioned in the summary of the invention.
  • Fig 6B is similar to the embodiment of Fig. 6A except that instead of two separate connectors 64, a single plastic, textile, metal, elastic, adhesive or Velcro ® strip 66 is embedded in the front portion of the hat 10 along the brim of the hat where the visor 14 is joined. The central area 68 is enclosed in fabric at the front portion 16. Ends 70 and 72 adjustably engage the pair of connectors 62. Of course, other types of adjustment clasps can be used.
  • the adjustment clasp 80 includes a strap 82, having a Velcro ® underside 83, which is attached to the outside of the crown along the circumference 24.
  • the distal end 84 of strap 82 also extends along the circumference 24 of the crown, where the visor 14 joins the crown.
  • Distal end 84 adjustably attaches to a Velcro ® mating patch 86 located on the front portion 16 just above the visor.
  • the visor can be located at the rear side of the hat and the Velcro ® patch 86 can have any desired geometry suitable for mating with Velcro ® 83 on distal end 84.
  • Strap 82 can have a slight curve to it to correspond to the natural curve of a baseball style hat or to the adjusting movement of the clasp arrangement.
  • This embodiment also considers each strap 82 being laurel shaped, so that the two clasp arrangements form a laurel wreath.
  • This embodiment also considers a buckle mounted at the border of the crown 24 (in a manner similar to the mounting of a buckle in the crown of a traditional adjustable hat, so that the loose end of the strap can be embedded into the sweat band) and the distal end of the strap 84 fixed into the front portion 16.
  • Adjustment clasp 90 includes a flap 92 secured along or near one edge at the seam between the front portion 16 and the triangular portion 20 above the temple.
  • the underside of distal end 96 is provided with a Velcro ® patch (not shown) which adjustably engages a mating Velcro ® patch 98 located on the temple portion 20.
  • the Velcro ® patch 98 can be of any geometric shape.
  • flap 92 although shown her as being triangular, can have any geometric shape such as a truncated triangle, oval or rectangle or any desired geometry suitable for mating the Velcro ® patch and the portion 20.
  • FIGS 9A and 9B show another embodiment of an adjustable hat 10, having an adjustment mechanism 100.
  • the triangular portion 20 forms a flap 102 which has one part of a Velcro ® attachment (not show) along its underside. This mates with a Velcro ® patch 104 affixed to a front portion 16 above the bill 14.
  • the visor can be located at the rear side of the hat and the patch 104 can have other geometric shapes.
  • FIGs 10A and 10B show yet another embodiment of an adjustable hat 10, having an adjustable clasp 1 10.
  • Adjustable clasp 1 10 includes a flap 1 12 which is attached at or near the seam between the front portion 16 and a temple triangle 36. Flap 1 12 has a truncated triangular configuration, but it may be any desired shape, such as triangle, oval or rectangle or any desired geometry, suitable for mating the Velcro ® patches and the portion 20. Velcro ® on the underside of flap 1 12 (not shown) mates with a Velcro ® patch on section 20 (not shown). This embodiment also considers each flap 1 12 being wing shaped, as shown in Figures 10A and 10B.
  • Figure 1 1 shows another embodiment of an adjustable hat 10, having an adjustable clasp 120.
  • a strap 122 is secured, such as by being sewn, in the front portion 16 of the hat 10.
  • a buckle 124 is- attached to the temple triangle 36, preferably along its underside.
  • Temple triangle 36 is attached to adjacent triangle 20 along seam 126. It is left unattached along at least a- part of its length, at its other edge 128, in the manner shown in Figs 7A-7C.
  • the free end 130 (shown in dotted lines) of the strap 122 passes through the buckle 124 allowing the user to adjust the fit of the hat.
  • the further the free end passes through the buckle the more the crown triangle is pulled towards the front of the hat, thereby making the circumference 20 of hat 10 smaller.
  • the free end 130 of the strap can be hidden from view by providing an underside exit from buckle 124.
  • a small vertical cut can be made in the temple triangle 36 just beyond the buckle to allow the free end to pass within the circumference 20 of hat 10 along the sweatband.
  • buckle 124 may be of the type having a pivot axis, which when open, allows the strap 122 to pass through it.
  • the buckle When properly adjusted the buckle is pivoted downwardly to clamp the strap in place.
  • the buckle can be a "belt buckle” type with a tongue engaging holes in the strap.
  • Another type of buckle has a generally circular ring with entry and exit apertures. When tightened friction, or a friction device, keeps the strap in place.
  • Other buckles of course may be employed.
  • the strap may be made of a fabric, leather, simulated leather, plastic, or other materials
  • the present invention is not limited to the particular connector or adjustment mechanisms described herein.
  • other types of connector mechanisms can be used, such as buckles, tooth-type clasps, . adhesives, screws, bolts, hooks, pins, clips, buttons, knots, and elastic band connectors can be used.
  • the present invention is not limited to baseball or sports-type hats. It is equally applicable for other types of hats or helmets, such as hats without visors.
  • hats that permit the mounting, holding or inclusion of electronic, media, audio or optical accessories or devices, so that the hat is designed to support electronic, media, audio or optical devices that can be clipped, attached, placed, incorporated or mounted therein.
  • Radios, speakers, telephones, pagers, PDAs, headsets, headphones, antennas, viewfinders, screens, magnets, batteries, microphones, cameras, sensors, controls, remotes, earplugs, player or recording machines, films, cards, games, computers, cassettes, discs, lenses, watches, compasses, lights, phones, televisions, connectors, jacks, plugs can be a part of or be attached or connected to the hat and therefore a part of the hat.
  • the clasp arrangements are ideal for clipping any desired electronic, media, audio or optical device, because each clasp arrangement is generally placed between the ears and the eyes and above the mouth. People have the opportunity to wear a new kind of "hands-free" cap, using electronic devices near or within the visor zone.
  • the clasp arrangements can also be used to support flagpoles, sticks, whistles, keys, jewelry, makeup, lighters, first aid, cutters, cards, containers, mirrors, stationery, tees, fishhooks, nets, tools, utensils, food, clothing, pacifiers or any desired object.
